You are right the WWF did mention it on TV a few weeks later that MOM won the titles in the UK.

I agree that when it comes to how many times someone won the Hardcore title, the number does seem to change a lot when talked about on TV. However I was talking about the magazine article on the hardcore title which counted every house show change.

I think the main reason for this is because no one really cares about the hardcore title. I think the 24/7 rule is really cool. However the title still doesn't mean a thing.

And you see me with a smile on my face
<br>And you know I'm a mental case

You say the Hardcore title means nothing your almost exactly right, w/ such names as Godfathers Ho and Molly Holly holding it at points but even the hardcore has its steps ahead of the European title, this title breaks alot more careers then it makes, its like Cursed. Say you were signed by the WWF and Vince McMahon said they had 2 Ideas for you, 1 you win the european title and the other you win the hardcore title, you would hold them for the same amount of time no matter which one you picked, which title would you go with? Hardcore or European?

I would have to say Hardcore

There have actually been 130 hardcore reigns. WWFtitlehistory.com does not acknowledge a lot of the title changes at house shows. There is no reason not to count these, they did happen. If you want to see the list, go to <a href='http://www.100megsfree4.com/wiawrestling/pages/wwf/wwfhard.htm' target='_blank'>http://www.100megsfree4.com/wiawrestling/p...wwf/wwfhard.htm</a>

The ho that won the Hardcore Title was actually Victoria, who is currently under a developement deal with the WWF. Apparantly, she can actually wrestle, although that still doesn't make her much of a HC Champ...

I think the reason WWF is doing that type of thing is for the crowds at the house shows to think they're seeing something signifigant. It's been years since you've seen Title changes on house shows and they just don't do that anymore, remember McMahon/Bishoff rule 327 "If it's not on TV, it didn't happen".

I think the last time a title changed on a house show was Edge's first IC win against Jarret. The one before that was probobly the Disel Title win against Backlund

The 24/7 rule is a fun little rule intended to entertain the fan base, which 99% of would never read a site like this or have a clue what really goes on in wrestling. The "average fan" doesn't care about 130 vs. 77 title reigns, or 31 in a month, or anything like that (which I happen to care about). It's just for entertainment --- which kind of fits into the whole sports entertainment concept as opposed to actual wrestling.
